Music at UPC
Music at UPC
Music is an important part of our coming together at United Presbyterian Church. We are excited to make music with every resource that we have, and to use a variety of styles — not all at once, but intermingled. What emerges is a vibrant worship service with music that includes everyone who wishes to participate.
UPC’s vocal choir is enjoying the use of our new choir room (next door to the chapel), and we meet Wednesdays, 6:30–7:30pm. We provide music for worship most every Sunday, sometimes assisted by “guest conductor” Aoife!
We are welcoming new members at any time, and would love to have your participation during this Advent season. We have plans to sing at the Christmas Eve service and to record a few songs for the Christmas Day service. It would be good to have you with us!
United Ringers handbell choir rehearses Sundays, 11:30am–12:30pm in the Sanctuary. Our handbell choir plays 2–4 octaves of Malmark handbells and handchimes, providing music for worship about once a month. If you’re interested in learning how to play handbells, please inquire. New members are always welcome! No previous experience needed. No auditions to start. If you can count to 4, you can learn to play!
We also invite instrumentalists and vocalists who’d like to share their gifts to talk with any of our music leaders about providing special music for worship — you can call the church office, email music@upcbgm.org, or speak with them in person after worship. All musicians must be fully vaccinated and boosted.
At United Presbyterian Church, children are included in all aspects of worship. We invite them to start early with participation in hymns and other pieces of music. An in-sanctuary play & learn area for families also gives easy access to the Time for the Young at Heart and hands-on thematic exploration.
We invite children (and the young at heart!) to perform in a piece on handchimes during the Christmas Eve service. If you would like to participate, please join us for two brief rehearsals immediately following worship on 12/11 and 12/18.
